A low fat ranch dressing will leave you feeling cool as a cucumber! Light and refreshing, perfect on a simple wedge of lettuce, with tomatoes and cucumbers.

This ranch dressing was lightened up with Greek yogurt, low fat buttermilk and light mayonnaise along with cucumbers, Spring chives, parsley and a hint of lemon. If you don't like mayonnaise you could replace it with more buttermilk and yogurt.

Hi Shannie Michelle, I have a tip for you for your buttermilk, after using the amount called for in the recipe just freeze the rest in 1/2 cup portions and the voila buttermilk for your next recipe and no more buttermilk to pour down the drain

I keep a can of "powdered buttermilk" in refrig and use it all the time.. works great!aso.. can ff sour cream be substituted for yogurt?? and I too would like to know how long it will stay fresh? thanx

really tasty! i make almost all my own salad dressings but my repertoire is lacking in creamy dressings like this. I wanted to to make something to mix with some broccoli slaw for a quick side dish and this was perfect. I upped the salt a tad and next time I might add some hot sauce to make it a little feisty.

I just made your Basil Green Goddess dressing and it is fabulous! I have all of the ingredients to make this one next...thank you so much for helping us eat more veggies! BTW I am making your Coconut Chicken Salad for dinner tonight...can't wait! :)

Awesome dressing!!! Super light, cool and refreshing. I was thinking garlic AND garlic powder?? but it's not overpowering at all. I have a major food aversion to mayo, never used it and never will I have honestly never even touched it so I used moer buttermilk and greek yogurt. Mine came out more watery than the picture but I love it still. Thanks!!

Made this today and love it! It's so light and crisp. It tastes like summer to me! I love that your dressings are so light that a serving is a 1/4 cup. That's huge, love it! I don't know that I'm ever going to buy bottled again.

What type of light mayo do you use? I have light mayo in my fridge but it is 5 grams of fat for 1 tablespoon. Does this sound like yours? I just want to make sure that I don't increase the number of points!

This was perfect for last night's main dish salad. I subbed cilantro and lime for the parsley and lemon, and threw in half of a seeded jalapeño. Was a bit short on chives, so some red onion worked as a stand-in. And finally, used full fat plain yogurt. Thanks for such wonderful inspiration!!!
